Counting on Fall

As young readers journey into the natural world, they will discover that numbers, patterns, shapes &#8212; and much more! &#8212; can be found by observing everyday plants and animals. What if animals and plants knew math, just like you? Would leaves fall in patterns? Would whales enter a race? In Counting on Fall , the first title in the Math in Nature series by award-winning author Lizann Flatt, nature comes to life to help children grasp concepts of number sense and numeration. The engaging &#8220;What if?&#8221; format of this informational picture book is sure to delight five- to seven-year-olds. Each of the four books in the Math in Nature series will cover one season of the year and one area of the math curriculum. Colorful, cut-paper collage art uniquely evokes the natural world, while two levels of text &#8212; one a lyrical story, the other asking children to problem-solve &#8212; bring the reader to a full understanding of the math concept being covered.
